Which Hitting Training Aids Are Best For My Technique?

Here we compare different hitting aid products to determine which ones are the correct ones to use for your hitting technique. You should not use the wrong training equipment for your type of swing.

Do not buy any hitting aids until you know which swing technique you are training for.

The Linear technique is about hands and wrists, compact swings, staying short to the ball, staying inside the ball, level swing (no uppercut), and rolling your wrists.

This technique frowns upon dropping your shoulder, swinging down then up, and leading with your hips.

The Rotational technique is about using your torso, keeping your hands back, and dropping your back elbow and shoulder.

This technique frowns upon rolling your wrists, using level shoulders, swinging down on the ball, and throwing the knob to the ball.

If you don't have any idea what we are talking about or you are not sure which swing technique you use, take a look at The Perfect Swing first.
